My Game "J" Ticket above got me into the 6th Game of the NBA finals back in 1986.

My friend Mitch won the tickets in a raffle and we watched as the Celtics rolled over the Houston Rockets and win the NBA Championship for the 16th time...

The ticket price then was $14.00 dollars, we paid $5 for the Raffle Ticket...today you are talking at least $150.00 dollars admission to the game this Sunday.

This Box of Wheaties below:

Pictures the Great Larry Bird who led the Celtics to that victory over Houston.

This box of Wheaties dates back to 1986 as well and has never been opened.

It along with the ticket above, an original piece of the Old Boston Garden Floor, a Kevin Garnett Bobble Head and a stuffed Paul Pierce Bear, along with many many Celtics Shirts, Flags and assorted memorabilia make up the Family Room Shrine today as we get set for Game 5 this Father's Day...
